Haryana can reverse its definition of parole so that its best-known prisoner RETURNS to prison once in a while, rather than being let out. How does someone convicted on multiple counts get out so often and easily while others who haven't even got a trial are locked up for years?

What 7,200-yr-old fibres from Indus Valley found in Israel tell us about cotton domestication

Cotton fibers from Indus Valley were found in an Israel site dating back 7,200 years. This pre-dates what we know about trade between the two places as well as cotton domestication in the archaelogical record. theprint.in/science/what-7 via

Find predates evidence of cotton cultivation in Indus Valley, indicating either wild cotton products were created before domestication, or domestication occurred earlier than believed.
